m>&DayWe may be small, but we are spirited!
Blue and Gold Day is a chance for the Upper, Middle, and Lower Schools to unite and express our school spirit and pride. With our Jazz Band echoing through the gym and Mr. Brewster's trademark rollerblades, we celebrated what makes us the PCDS Eagles. In the morning we were wowed by our dive team. The boat regatta, the newest addition to the Blue and Gold Day festivities, demonstrated that seniors Sarah Watson and Cassie Sonntag knew their physics. In the gym, Mr. Burns served up a win for the Middle School faculty against the 7th- and 8th-grade volleyball team(1), but the Upper School faculty couldn't handle the heat of their students' spikes. Middle School students Brett Hennessy, Elliot Ginsburg, and Noah Bucon cheered and laughed (2) as Grady Wieger and Lizzie Thompson took part in the relay race (3). We recognized the Middle School sports teams, and the fall Upper School sports teams sat together in the front of the gym. Bryan McLaren and the guys' cheerleading squad (4) went head-to-head with Elaine Keightley and the girls' team (5). New Upper School counselor Mr. Dummer took on a new role as Thunder the Eagle (6). The rest of the day was marked by a celebratory mood, and after school, students came out to watch the Upper School boys' soccer team compete. Mr. Brewster's final Blue and Gold Day was certainly one to remember!

In the speech from the Head of the School that greets every PCDS student at the beginning of the year, there has been one oft-repeated theme: community. Indeed, that is the gift that Galen Brewster has given the school in his ten years as Head. He has brought parents, students, and teachers together during times of growth and change. His legacy to the school is undoubtable: he spearheaded the fundraising for the new Upper School, where the Brewster Library preserves his name; his vision for the use of technology as an educational tool will lead the school into the twenty-first century; under his tenure, the school expanded in faculty size and earned accolades for its dedication to academic excellence. The contributions he has made to the growth of the athletic program and the plans he has made for a complete new Lower School and enlarged Middle School will certainly continue to make PCDS the educational leader of the Southwest. Whether he is working behind the scenes or rollerblading through the gym, Mr. Brewster's presence can always be felt in our community, and his positive influence on the school will continue into the future.
Mr. Brewster, thank you for always lending us a helping hand. You will be greatly missed!

LO W ERschool
Somewhere in a day of multiplication tables, playing on the swings,
and chess club lies the foundation for a life of fun and learning. The PCDS
Lower School is where it all starts: it is where friendships begin and young
eyes are opened to the wide possibilities of everything from math to history.
From the first steps as kindergarteners entering the gym with the seniors,
to building relationships with the students of the Middle School, the Lower
School students are an integral part of the PCDS community. From music
performances to learning a new language, from addition and subtraction
to recess on the playground, Lower School students are creating strong
friendships, expanding their academic horizons, and participating in a variety
of activities outside the classroom.

Jack Larkin and Breanna Roberts position their class for a victory in the tug-of-war (4). Pierce Swanson and Marc Fuller leap over the hurdles (5).
Wliddle SchoolThe Middle School serves as the bridge
between the Lower and Upper Schools, and it is an
ideal place for students to develop their growing minds
and interests. A strong devotion to the community
is demonstrated by community service outreach
programs, such as the work done by eighth grade
students at the United Methodist Outreach Ministry.
The community of students is also emphasized, with
two days a week given to morning meetings. Middle
School snack time allows students to take a breather
from their large plate of studies. Electives, such as
bowling and calculator programming, let students
develop interests beyond the classroom. The many
after-school sports, including flag football, softball, and
lacrosse, put Middle School students on a lifetime path
of exercise and fun. The Middle School also means new
freedoms and new responsibilites: lockers, more choice
in schedules, and a growing commitment to service.

A C TM T1ESThe Middle School at PCDS is full of activities that
enrich both the mind and the body. From model rocketry to
computers, Middle School activities cover a wide spectrum
of interests and subjects. On the athletic field, PCDS Middle
School students can show their talents in sports—from flag
football to volleyball—where sportsmanship and having fun
are just as important as winning. A strong commitment to
community service and to lending a helping hand reinforces
the value PCDS places on giving back to the community.
Students also get their first chance to participate in student
government and to help with the production of the yearbook.
In addition, social activities such as dances and movies are
planned to give students time to enjoy each other's company.
The Middle School offers a place for students to explore and
build their interests outside of the classroom.

Electives and A th leticsA fter school ends on Friday, students have the opportunity
to explore new interests, challenge their minds, and try out new activities. Students
can learn how to build model rockets, relax while playing board games, cool off
in the bowling alley, and go to new heights while rock climbing. Electives also
offer an opportunity to get involved in athletics.
The 2004-2005 Middle School Athletic Year saw over 90% of Middle School
students participating in the program. Each season brought excitement, learning,
and fun to the Middle School. The main objective of the program is for students
to become involved in athletics that will carry over to the Upper School and to a
later time in life. Developing sportsmanship while “Pursuing Victory with Honor”
is the foundation of the program.

Across the bridge is another world known as
the Upper School. Circled around the Upper School
quad are an array of classrooms where students learn
the humanities, arts, and sciences. At opposite ends
of the quad, the Loback Student Center provides a
hangout for students to eat, play ping-pong, and chat
w ith friends, while the Brewster Library is an ideal
place for scholars to study, read, or explore. The quad
itself is a center of actitivity, often a host to the sounds
of student musicians. The Upper School is united by a
commitment to academics, an atmosphere of well-rounded
activity inside and outside of school, and a dedication
to community service. Whether inside a classroom, on
the athletic field, or simply enjoying lunch on the grass,
Upper School students have many opportunities to make
high school the most amazing experience of their lives.

SENIOR YEARfrom the beginning...
With senior year, the culmination of our high school careers, we are greeted
with new privileges and new responsibilities. Each traditional act that we take places
us more firmly in the role of a senior and further along the path to graduation.
The assistance we provide to the kindergarteners on the first day of school is a
symbol of our new position as role models to them and to the entire school. We
are PCDS’s final products, and we have the responsibility to represent our school
and community. Through our senior speeches, we are given the opportunity to do
so. But the traditions of senior year include privileges that compensate for the
higher expectations that are placed on us. We have finally been given the highly
anticipated ability to go off campus, a distinguishing aspect of senior year. We have
stepped into the year of senior pranks, senior gifts, senior ditch days, and the senior
exemption from second-semester finals. And, at the end of this year, we will be able
to appreciate our growth as students and scholars as we receive all of our work from
our freshman-English class. Looking back assures us of what we have done; looking
forward presents us with the infinity that we have yet to accomplish. Our senior
year comes to a close as graduation approaches. Now it is time to look forward.

“Humor is the only test of gravity, and gravity of humor; for a subject which will not bear raillery is suspicious, and a jest which will not bear serious examination is false w it.”
I I —Aristotle
To many, history is mere dates and names. To anyone privileged enough to be a veteran of one of Mr. Phillips's classes, it is anything but. Mr. Phillips welcomed us into our first year of high school with a uniquely entertaining and humorous perspective on history: a perspective that kept our interest captive from the dawn of man to the end of the Renaissance. He taught us the skills that we would need for high school, but at the same time he taught us many far more valuable lessons: think for yourself, keep asking questions, never stop laughing. He was always more than just a teacher to us; even after our time with him as freshmen was_over, his door was always open to us if we needed some advice, felt like playing a round of cards, or were just in the mood for some good music. The Senior Class would like to dedicate this yearbook to Mr. Phillips, who cam e to the Upper School the same year that we did, and thank him for setting the tone for our entire educational experience.

The ability to go off campus, the exemptions from second semester finals, and the possibility of eating fresh food in front of lower classmen—such as the giant burritos being enjoyed by Danny Curzon and Jill Tse (1)—all make senior year somewhat more agreeable amidst college applications, AP exams, and the notorious “senioritis.” Jasleen Khanuja and Brianna Eller finish some homework on a bench in the quad (2) as KC Lewis, Anne Slovin, and Elaine Keightley share some exciting college news (3). Cassie Sonntag, David Krumwiede, Dani Solomon, Mark Corey, Callie Thompson, Abby Bodell, and Monica Malhotra hang out on a bench in front of the computer lab (4). Later on, Will Alkhoury and Elaine Keightley show off some muscles in the Student Center (5), and Mark Corey, Jason Sanghi, and Tom Foglesong spend some spare time on the internet (6). Outside of the library, Andrew Seid, Monica Malhotra, Abby Bodell, and Stephanie Furniss enjoy their bagels and hot chocolate after the Thanksgiving Day assembly (7).

Upper School
A ctivitiesThe Upper School is made up of more than just
books: it is a place where academics, athletics, the arts,
and extracurriculars all come together in one palo-verde-
lined quad. In one corner of the quad, Stephanie Furniss
can be seen studying hard for her upcoming test while
listening to the sounds of the expert musicians of the
Upper School Jazz Band. Across the way in Madden
Hall, one can find Mr. W ilkins and the Advanced
Chemistry class discussing the fundamental particles of
atoms, while the view of Sandy Theis, Caity Wilenchik,
Emily Rector, and Jessie Baum leading the cross-country
team in a sprint to the finish is a common sight. Kaity
Tse and Sandy Weiss can be found working studiously
on their art projects in Hormel, and Justin Abbate is
spotted reciting poetry for a group of cheerleaders. From
lacrosse to Latin, from Shakespeare to strings, Upper
School students have got it all.

The 2004-2005 athletic year was filled with many exciting and rewarding moments. It was
[gratifying to observe our athletes compete, as you won with class and lost with dignity. Our program
[provides an important venue to learn life's lessons. The true test of the character of our athletes is in
[defeat. In victory and defeat, our athletes met the challenge and brought pride to the Phoenix Country I[Day community.
The 2004-2005 athletic year saw our state association, the Arizona Interscholastic Association,
[designate Phoenix Country Day as a “Pursuing Victory with Honor School of Distinction.” This
[prestigious award recognizes our school program as one that embraces the qualities of trustworthiness,
[respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship. When these values are the foundation, a student
[is preparing for success now and in the future.
As Director of Athletics, I am proud of each and every one of you for your success and the
[ way you represented yourself and your school.
When you look back at the 2004-2005 athletic year, I hope you enjoyed your athletic experience
as much as we enjoyed having you in the program. Best of luck to our seniors. Thank you for your
[ time and dedication to the program!

The 2004-2005 Women's Soccer team was by far the best to date. We had a strong group of underclassmen, which will ensure a great future for the soccer team. The team had a great regular season and strong post-season run; we reached new levels of success this year. The departing seniors will be missed, but we are confident that the great coaching and talented underclassmen will carry the team for many years to come. Thanks for such a great season!

The 2004-2005 Men’s Varsity Basketball team's season was nothing but a success. With nine seniors leading the charge, leadership was given from every different angle. Playing in the toughest region in the state (2A Metro), the Eagles held their own with all-around team play because of the stellar post work of Kyle Whistler, the “Dirk Nowitzki- esque” play of John Kester, the pure shooting of Matt Kostrivas, the strength of Alex Ashby, the floor leadership of Justin Abbate, the tenacity of Chase Bales, the determination of Josh Bronfman, the outspokenness of Andrew Bean, the hard work of Prashanth Mahalingham, the toughness of John Tierney, the laid-back attitude of Tracy Thomas, and the most solid 6 th man in the region, John Wolfe. The entire men's team is very proud that we have made basketball games an exciting event to attend at PCDS.

ivowiem sThe basketball team finished with a winning season despite our youth, winning five of
the last six games, with Stephanie Furniss, the only senior, at our lead. We were able to find strength in each other, even though we faced some challenging times. Because basketball is one of three sports available to girls in the winter season, we had to give up the Junior Varsity team. Although we were sad to see it go, we all knew it would have been hard for most of the girls to have to double-up every game night. Led by three great coaches, we battled through the season and competed in two challenging tournaments. Thanks for a great season!

W ith the void from graduating seniors left to fill, the new players showed commitment and dedication in learning a new sport. Any sport can be overwhelming, but every girl rose and conquered each new challenge presented to her. Their hearts will ensure success for the seasons still to come. Each and every one of you brought something unique to the team. Thank you all for the wonderful m em ories and the am azing season.

The 2004-2005 Varsity Baseball team completed one of its most successful seasons ever. Big wins against Metro teams such as Bourgade helped the PCDS team position itself well in the highly competitive Metro Region. The combination of a strong pitching staff and consistent hitting made the PCDS team a strong force against even the toughest opponents. The team had a well-balanced combination of seniority and youth, and the future looks bright for the team in upcoming years.

Alex: You have evolved from an extremely chatty toddler and little boy into an intelligent, hardworking, outdoors-loving, NRA-supporting, semi-ripped young man who has a distinct opinion on every topic and a diabolically sly sense of humor. As you proceed through life, remember that the things that really matter are your health, your family, a mate whom you truly love, a job that you fully enjoy, and feelings of satisfaction and contentment when you hit the hay each night. I will be cheering for your success from the sidelines. Love, Mom
